Tom good for you. That's why we did Indiana. If you have time go to Benton, AR and see the Crystal Bridges museum you would love it. With glass displays through the forest as well as art displays and building designs. Have fun Buddy

The rally probably helps that town it has been dying for years,I sent a crew there to do some work at a air craft engine rebuilding plant and it was a battle to get my people to go back

If you went to the rally by bus, please post a picture of your bus or position in the bus parade that is on the bus grease monkey youtube channel?

I have a Prevost and noticed one in the parade but it is newer than mine. Still learning to tell them apart.

Freds -
Tom's bus is the white MCI that says "The Italian Greyhound" on the side. You can clearly see it in the video.

There were 34 buses in the parade: BlueBird (1), Eagle 01 (1), Flxible (2), GMC (24), MCI (4), and one Prevost XL.

Looks like a good time was had by all. . .

;)

We drove our 4108 - The Anywhere Bus.

Here's a photo

Rally was a blast. Great to get to meet all the others in person and see all the buses. Great job by all those involved in getting things put together - thanks for all the work!
